The real estate market, while; not
dead, is in state of mastery inactivity.
That is to say, that while the REGARD
shows transactions for the week aggre-
eating nearly s1,O00,00O, yet the face of
the real estate man has not been
wreathed in broad smiles for the. past
few weeks, and he waits impatiently
for the-return of cooler weather and the
wandering capitalist.

The railroads are doing a host of I'M
usual things just now. They have bands
of surveyors on nearly every section OF
land bordering Minneapolis, and each
party is laying out new line some
where-the Omaha is said to be plan
ming route from Shakopee to the CITY.
1t is now using the Minneapolis d st.
Louis line into the city, and prefers to
be independent. The Wisconsin Cen
trail and the Omaha are each surveying
lines between the cities. and the eco
nomic citizen wistfully hopes that with
the new lines will come 20-cent fare.

There are more plans for taking
entrance to theater than you would
imagine" said the general treasurer of
a Chicago theater. Sometimes we have
five or six in one evening. A few nights
ago very tough-looklng individual
came up to the box window and, with
hitch of his coat and pushing his hat
back on his head. inquired: Say, der

applicant, and to prove his assertion he
threw back the lapels of his coat, gave
his trousers jerk, and, stepping back
little, began to give an exhibition of
fancy clog-steps. Ihave no doubt that
he was some variety Snowman. One of
the strangest grounds upon which I
ever heard an application for admission

IAN incident occurred the other
afternoon while I was in the box that
seems almost too ludicrous to be true.
A couple of very gawkv-looking coun-
trymen came into the lobby and began
to examine very minutely the stand of
photographs. especially the picture re-
presenting Robson and Crane as the
two Dromios. They seemed quite in
terested, and, although / could not
hear the conversation, / could see plain
~ that they were engaged in warm
argument. One OF them would direct
the others attention to particular points
about the photographs and insist upon
| his view. while the other would as
strongly deny the possibility OF its being
correct. Finally they seemed to grow
tired of the alteration and turned to
me MS if for decision. One of them
approached the window and after some
preliminary coughs and stammerings
said. jerking his thumb over his shout

three years has been about 81 a barrel. When

the Pennsylvania oil does in its market,

sidsrably higher, ana is more valued for

There are nine refineries at Petrolea, one at

entirely by rail most of the oil is refined
where produced. The refneries are individ-
cal or corporate enterprises, acting indie

Oil company or any other monopoly. This
is, perhaps, the only oil field that giant cor
poration has not in some way fastened upon.
The territory is served by three piping COM

Does not every man who is at all con-
versant with public affairs know that
you are Obliged to choose men for office
| with reference to those who are to vote
for them? If men were selected whose
election depended as much upon the
votes of women as upon the votes of
men, not one bad man would be put up
where there are fifty selected now. The
voting of women would be the sitting of
men throughout the nation.-Henry
Ward Beecher.
1t is sometimes said that women must
not vote, because in that case they
might be elected to Office, and ''if the
mother of young family should go to
Congress, what would become of the
children?n 1t does not seem to occur
to these objectors that only one person
in q thousand can go to Congress in
any case, and that no one is obliged to
go unless he chooses. The mother of q
young family would not be likely to be
asked to go to Congress, and would not
be likely to consent if she were asked.
But she might have very definite
idea as to the sort of man she wanted
to send to Congress as her representa-
tive, to make laws for her and hel
children. A good many profiigate and
drunken Congressman would be weeded
out, if the mothers in their districts
had votes.

In conversation Howells is not a volu-
BILE talker, he docs not aspire to shine;
there is little that is Macaulayish, few
tours de force. On the other hand, he
has what someone has described as the
dangerous trait of being an excellent
listener. 1t might be said of him as it
was of Mime. Recamier, that he listens
with seduction. He is not bent upon
displaying his own resources. but upon
penetrating the mind and heart before
him. Perhaps this is the natural recep-
tive mood of the deep student of charac-
ter. And then it is SO gracefully done,
